Perfect no frills hotel for an early morning flight. Breakfast started at 4am and was a pretty decent continental style - fresh croissants, yogurt, cereral, fruit, etc. Staff was super friendly. There's a bus that goes to the airport right outside, or you can walk (took me maybe 15/20 minutes). Would stay again.

My first experience of Holiday Inn Express and I was so impressed. Warm welcome, a nice reception and lobby area with a bar. My room was clean and very comfortable with little touches that you don't get in similar price range hotels e.g tissues, phone. Included breakfast was very good. Definitely recommended
